Run by a small group of passionate, cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham.

Our branch comprises of the former North Sheffield branch (which was established in 1988), Sheffield Hallam Branch (originally established in 1983) and Barnsley Branch. We are run entirely by dedicated volunteers who give their free time to help cats and kittens in the Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham areas. We always welcome new volunteers, no matter how little time you have.

Our dedicated supporters foster cats, raise funds and generally keep the branch going, enabling us to take unwanted cats and kittens into care year in year out.

We believe that there is a loving home out there somewhere for every cat, we try to ensure that every cat is given the chance of a life where it will be treated with kindness and understanding, and we never put a cat, kitten, elderly or ill cat to sleep except on clear veterinary advice.

We are committed to caring for the cats who, often through no fault of their own come into care. Our aim is to rehome them safely with loving families, matching the right cat to the right home.
